living with grandparents for the summer before college, thinking about leaving and finding somewhere to stay until it starts. is it a bad idea?
>"get a job if you're gonna stay here" (no where else to go)
became miserable, wanna leave everyday and at one point actually did in the middle of a shift (lol)
>because everyone else in the family has went to college and dropped out they expect me to be the champion of the family and are puttin crazy pressure on me to be a golden child
>am by no means a golden child
>have some places to stay at from here to uni (uni is 200 miles away) and about 500 dollars
nothing has been going my way for almost a year and i honestly believe that a drastic change of course like this may bring me back to life
should i anons?

Explain your feelings to your family b4 taking any decisions into action, otherwise they'll get pissed af. I also live with my grandparents, for different reasons, and live with the pressure of passing post-secondary as none of their sons did due to mental illness. And I'm their eldest grandson, so I assume they want to see a "son" of theirs to do well in life.

man i dont care if they're pissed
my dude, these are my maternal grandparents and i'm the youngest of all the kids, and they were all fucked up
there's also internal pressure from the fraternal side (though i dont talk to them) because i am the last (and only) one that can pass on the name, which happens to be a last name only 30 people alive have.
these people don't believe in me, is the real point i'm finding. When i tell them i got it and i'm gonna make it happen, they don't believe my words. If they don't give me that respect, what respect can they even expect in return?

Try passively confronting them this feeling of not being respected, maybe they'll point out a legitimate reason that u didn't realize urself (but then again ppl deserve respect anyways)
R these pressures coming from you grandparents, parents, or both?

my parents have pretty much abandoned me (raising me was never in their priorities)
I've been kinda getting juggled between caretakers all my life. i don't think confronting them about that in particular would change much, to be honest
